The leading financial es tablishments in Paris are the Credit Mobilier and the Credit Fonder; both of which have stood the test of experience, and have realised very large profits for their shareholders—the transactions of the Credit Fonder being based upon the Land Credit system, whilst the Credit Mobilier embraces general Financial business. The wisdom of this division of operations has been fully realised by the Credit Fonder for Great Britain and Ireland. which, sines its establishment, hss found the offers of busi ness, both of a Land Credit as well as of a general Financial character, so large, as to necessitate the formation of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), to undertake such financial opera tions as the Credit Fonder, with due regard to its special ob jects, cannot legitimately carry out. The principal objects of the Credit Mobllier (Limited), are as fol lows, viz. : To co-operate with other first-class Financial and Indus trial undertakine s. To negotiate Government and Municipal Loans. To aid in carrying out concessions, based upon Govern- Tent guarantees and subventions. To make advances to responsible contractors for English and foreign railways, and other public works. To lend on the security of stocks, funds, shares, deben tures and other approved securities, with special reference to the requirements of the Stock Exchange. The Credit Idobilier (Limited) will also receive money on deposit for long or short per ods. The marked success which has attended the operations of the various Financial Companies, now in existence, is well known, and is evidenced by the following quotations of the market value cf their respmtive shares. - Amounid The London Financi a l Association. tpa per .

The iron for these vessels, and for their armour dates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg ngs and castings of the largest class for marine engines, widges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam iammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, ite., are all of he beat class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming ogether an establishment unequalled. Three of the largest iron-clad frigates in the British navy —the Warrior, Valiant, and Minotaur—have been built by ,he Thames Ship-building Company, and orders have been 'eceived for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian, ipanish, and Turkish navies, some of which are now in course if construction. It has been determined to add to the existing business of he Company two other lucrative branches, name'y, Graving )ocka and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially ;onnected with its present operations. For this purpose, as veil as for the large and increasing business of the Com ,any, a considerable extension of capital will be required as he works advance ' • and in order to carry out the objects in 'few, it is proposed to transfer to the new Comnany (subject o payment of the dividend for the past year) the whole of he valuable contracts, assets, goodwill, and effects of the Charnea Iron Works Company, together with its liabilities nd engazements, as from the Ist of January, 1864, in coned leration of the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company if the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that 3ompany will take £150,000 in fully paid-up Shares, and :125,000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest tt per cent. per annum. The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of reehold tandem the Essex side of the River Lea, next Black veil, and the premises and branch works known as the 'hcenix Iron Works Millwall, together with the valuable dant and works.

She sailed from Bermuda four days before the screw frigate Ariadne, which arrived at Spithead on Tuesday, as reported in The Sun of Thursday, and her news has consequently been anticipated. The Landrail, on the 23d and 24th ult., experienced the same heavy gale reported by the Ariadne, and was compelled to heave to for some time in consequence of its violence.

The Spring drills of the officers and men of the battalion of Royal Marines Light Infantry at Chat ham having commenced, in accordance with a divi sional order to that E ffect, the system of route march ing icto the country, carried on during the winter months, has ceased. The companies at headquarters being below the proper strength, recruiting parties arc now employed at the several stations in raising men for that branch of the service. Lieut.-Gen. T. R. Swinburne died at his residence, 13, Great Stuart-street, Edinburgh, on Monday last. The deceased, who had attained the age of (7, en tered the army on June 21, 1813, and served with the First Guards in Holland, under Lord Lynedoch, and subsequently in the Peninsula and South of France. He served also in the campaign of 1815, including the battles of Quartre Bras and 'Waterloo. He commanded a storming party at Peronne, and was at the capture of Paris, and afterwards served with the army of occupation in France. A series of lectures on mechanical subjects has lately been delivered to the officers of the Royal Artillery stationed at Shooburyness, Pole, by Professor ole, F,R,S, To the estimate the following explanatory note is pre fixed:— "Part of this estimate is required to complete the final settlement of the account with the Indian Government up to the 31st Ma►ch, 1861, from which date the new mode of settlement of the claim for the repayment of the advances for recruiting and other charges for regiments serving in %CIS at th 9 rate of 410 for every effective poldie'r peryipg . • 0 0* , 4 4 r • Gi l a M, ..111 4 • 22 . 04 1 •\. • : o f (/ . t • , - 9. ,„ 0 - k „.- ‘,4 • . i _ - • 6 ,t • , rl• • a '.; 4A4, t , . 4 . • DIE , 4 40.tt O! 4 ,0 It - 0 1401 T. • 411 VC - in India, came into force.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORKS ♦-- -- The ordinary weekly meeting of the Metropoli tan Board of Works wes held yesterday, at their offices, Spring-gardens, Mr. Jonn Thwaites in th e chair. The cash statement showed that the balances in the hands of the treasurer were, on current accounts, JAC3,600 10s. 7d. ; on deposit accounts, £6 8 , 81)0 ; and on Government securities, £96,732 83. 7d. ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. The CHAIRMAN read a letter from the authorities of St. Thomas's Hospital, stating that the sum of money stipulated in the provisional agreement for the purchase of the land at Stangate had been paid into the bank in their joint names. xtrrnol'OLlTA N IMPROVEMENTs. The report of the building act, &c., committee was brought up, recommending that the board do contribute cnc-third towards the cost of setting back the premises known as the Duke's Head public• house, Lower Richmond-road, Putney, on condi tion that the Board of Works for 'Wandsworth do contribute two-thirds of the cost of the said im provement. On the motion of Mr. BENNETT, this recommen dation was approved. The committee also recommended that the line of thoroughfare extending from the Bull and Gate Tavern, Kentish Town-road, north ward, to S wainc'a lane, in the parish of St. Pancras, be named High gate-road. The recommendation was agreed to. The committee likewise recommended that the new portion of King •street, Covent-garden, leading from New-street to Long-acre, be named Garrick street. The recommendation was adopted. SALARY OP THE SUPERINTENDENT ARCHITECT. The board was then made special to consider a recommendation of the streets committee that iu consideration of the increased duties of the superin tending architect, and the appointment of a pro portion of the establishment charges of the board o the Thames Embankment and Mansion House Fund, his salary be increased from £BOO to £l,OOO per annum, and that the resolution of the board of the 22d February, 1861 (No. 5), in relation to the superintending architect, be varied accordingly. Mr. PHILLIPS moved the adoption of the recom mendation, which—after some discussion, and a pro test from Mr. Savage, who expressed his determi nation to oppose the motion if he stood alone—was carried by a majority of 29 to 4. PROGRESS 01' THE MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS. Mr. BAZALGETTE, the engineer of the Board, brought up the following report of the progress of _ _ _ the main drainage works : The frost which prevailed at intervals during the past month has retarded the progress which would otherwise have been made in the execution of the several sections of the works intended for the main intercepting drainage of the metropolis. In connection with the Middle Level Sewer and its branches, Messrs. Brassey and Co. have com pleted nearly 111 miles of sewers, of sizes varying from 4ft by 2ft Sin to 12ft by Oft Gin, at an estimated cost of £299,000, or £3,000 more than last reported. In addition to the unfavourable weather, the progress in the execution of the western sowers has been further impeded by the in flux of some springs of water into the works. The total length of sewers completed is a little over 3 miles, and the probable cost about £40,000 or £2,600 in excess of the pre ceding month. Last month I reported that Mr. Furness had completed his contract for the Northern Outfall Sewer, with the exception of some hedging, ditching, and other minor matters which could not well be proceeded with at this season of the year. He has since executed portions of these works to the value of about £2OO, making the total approximate cost of the work up to the end of February £040,200. The principal portions of the works remaining to be done under Mr. Furness's contract fur the Northern Outfall Reservoir aro the covering arches of the third and fourth compartment, and the formation of the elopes and top of the earthwork. The total value of the work executed is estimated at £154,000, of which 13,000 is due to the pro gress made in the past month. At the Southern Outfall Works at Crossness Mr. Webster has executed about 147,000 cubic yards of excavation, and filled in about 72,000 cubic yards of concrete, in addition to laying about 67,000 super ficial feet of Yorkshire stone paving, and 32,500 cubic feet of masonry. The value of these and other works in con nection therewith amounts to about £106,000, or £9,000 more than at the date of my last report. Under hie con tract for the Southern Low Level Sewer, Mr. Webster has now completed nearly 3 milts of sewers, varying in size from lift 9in to 7ft 3in barrel, at an estimated cost of about £92,000, being £l,OOO in excess of the sum last reported. (Signed) J. W. 13AZALGETTE, Engineer. The report was adopted. THE METROPOLITAN SCHEMES. Mr. BAZALGF:TTE read a letter he had received from Mr. Thomas Fowler, the engineer to one of the Metropolitan Railway schemes, stating that the joint committee of the Houses of Parliament had advised the engineers of the proposed schemes to meet together, and see if they could not form a plan that would meet the views of all concerned out of those now bolero Parliament, and asking Mr. Bazalgetto to meet the various engineers at his (Mr. Fowlers) offices on Tuesday next, and act on the part of the Board of Works. A discussion ensued upon it, when it was decided that Mr 13.1zilgctte should attend the meeting to ascertain the views of the promoters, and to report to a committee of the board, but not to act fur the board.

Mr. HALL brought forward the question of the removal of Middle-row, Holborn, and moved— " That the necessary steps be taken for obtaining, if possible, the insertion of clauses in the Holborn Valley Improvement Bill, now before Parlia ment, for the removal of the houses on the north side of Middle-row, out of the funds proposed to be raised, or failing that, then to obtain a recom mendation from the committee to whom the bill is referred for such removal, and that the solicitor be so instucted." This gave rise to some dircussion, and the sub stititution of an amendment, but eventually the motion was put, and negatived by a majority of 12 to 7. The routine business was then disposed of, and ,ho board adjourned. Railways in the City. A meeting of merchants and others was held yesterday at the London Tavern, in reference to the manner in which it was proposed to cut up the city by the railway schemes now before Parliament. Mr. R.W. CRAWFORD, MX., was called to the chair. He had, he said, at first looked with little satisfaction upon the appointment of a joint committee of the two Houses of Par liament, and the result of the deliberations of that commit tee had not tended to increase his satisfaction. Somo of the schemes which were to be allowed to go before the select committee interfered with the city property, and it was for the citizens to consider what would be the effect of so many railways on the trade and conimerce of the city. The most important lino which affected the city which was to be allowed to go to a select committee was that which completed what was termed the inner circle of communication. It would run along the Thames embankment, finding its way ttoutehow or another from the end of Blackfrairs-bridge along Themes street. That it would find its way round by Tower-hi, and the Minories, and eventually join the extension of the 3 e werero to tan, and so proceed to Finsbury-circus. If this the level line ere to be an underground railway it would he below of the Thames; if it were to boa high -lerolraiN ay it would interfere with an immense mass of City property. lie was glad to find from the reports in the papers that the Corpo ration of London were taking measures for protecting the interests of the City in this matter. All these lines were in the hands of what he might, without offence, term specula tors, gentlemen of ono profession or another, who had, of course, a right to pursue their profession as much as any other person; but for him self he sh ould have been glad t o see allthe schemes postponed, so that they might be referred to sonic independent body, who would deal with them satis fac!orily to the public. (II ear, hear.) Mr. S. No n t.rY moved a resolution w hi c h eflirincd that, in the opinion of this meetir.g, the li m i te d area of the city', of London, the scat of a rapid'y- expan di ng trade, should be pro t ec ted against the intrusion of any railway within it which was not absolutely necessary. lie trusted the meet ing would result in th e appo i ntment of a committee to act on public grounds in referenco to the matter. Mr. WALKER seconded the motion. Deputy LoTT, in his official capacity, supported iho reso lution, and earnestly urged the claims of the poor in con nection with th e proposed railways. The resolution was adopted, as were others of a Practical character, and a committee was appointed, V.E.-TOWER, SALE OF STORES. —By Order of the SECRE TARY of STATE for WAR.

It is now evident that all the young people whose lives arc so sunny, and who are disporting themselves so gaily on the threshold of life, have many dark days in store for them, and much sadness to encounter. By a dexterous manoeuvre Mrs. Pilmer has sent Dillon away to Germany, thus maturing her dark plans, and paving the way fur the pee. session of Mrs. Meiklam's properly. The scene described as taking place on Bessie's birthday is very effective, and well displays the nascent nature of pride and self conceit that appear so etrongly marked at an early ego in some characters. " Two Half. Cenl uri( sof the Light Litera ture of France" is a veryrcadable paper, and conveys much information in its critical analysis. There is generally something very attractive in these dirquieitions of literature in an earlier age ; and, concerning foreign countries, wa should not ke e p ourse l ves i n ignorance, since nothing so aptly or ad ro i t l y discloses the changes wrought in the mired and morals of a people as the different phases of its litera ture. In conclusion, the 'v: her of this essay pens this wise reflection—" If our paper dare boast of a moral, it is that fashion is as arbitrary in the publisher's ()thee as in the show-rooms of the milliner, and that the fume of no book is sr clued that does not give pleasure both to the prince on his throne and the peasant on his wooden sto o l." " U nfortunate Doctor Dodd" is rather a curious subje c t, that may never theless be welcome to some readers, as affording them an insight into the career of a remarkable individual. " Shake perian Notes," No, 11., is a consideration of some of the most important passages in the works of the great drama tist; at this time when it is the fashion to discues ever and anon all the works of that author, it is appropriate in its appearance. "Wilkes the Actor—his Later Career," is an interesting paper, that revives the memory of the histrionic splendours of past days, and presents us with a detailed account of the career of a man who was much celebrated in his own generation, and whose fame has come down to our days, if it is in somewhat a modified form. " The Duchies, Danish Rights, Customs, and Legends," is a very appro priate article just now, but the views expressed by the writer, aro hardly in accordance with the strong sentiment of popular opinion that has been universally expressed on behalf of Denmark. "My Aunt Margaret's Adventure" is an amusing narrative, that is sure to attract young readers for its spice of the horrible. "Non me Ricordo" relates to the Mhow and Aldershot courts martial, Another instalment of anecdotes of the civil war in Spain is given, and an analysis is furnished of the estimates of both ser vices. Chapters on the Invasion of Denmark, and the Political Crisis, Notes on M‘Clellan's Campaign in Mary land, and the general naval and military intelligence of the month conclude the table of contents. THE UNITED SERVICE.—The United Service opens with an article, by Dept. Knollys, on " The Soldier off Duty," which contains some very sensible re marks on the employment of the leisure hours of the private soldier. Captain Knollys observes that the soldier is not individually worse than other men, that vice and dissipation should possess in itself especial attractions for him, but that he has so much more leisure than the mechanic or the labourer that his unemployed hours become to him a curse rather than a blessing. lie therefore proposes to employ the spare hours of the soldier in profitable or amusing occupation. Great advances have been made in the right direction at many of our principal depots, but much more may yet be done. The paper upon the improvements in small arms and artillery is concluded, and the description of the large 'Whitworth guns wil be read with interest. Unlike the Armstrong guns, Mr. Whit worth's guns are hooped up cold, which is considered in many respects advantageous. Trio mocha operandi is as follows :—The inner tube is formed of homogeneous iron, and its external diameter tapers about one inch in every hundred of its length. Over this the hoops, also of homogeneous metal, and each from 20 to 40 inches in width—their interior surface being fitted with mathema tical accuracy to the exterior surface of the tube—are forced slowly on by hydraulic pressure till the requisite amount of tension is reached, and which, it is said, is easily calculated. In this manner beating the metal for welding hoops, or fur "shrinking" them on, as practised in the Armstrong process, is dispensed with in the Whit worth guns. A second series of hoops is in like man ner drawn over the first, and a third, when necessary in largo guns, over the second, and the same may be done even to a fourth casing by the same pro cess. The rifling of the cannon in Mr. Whitworth's fac tory is precisely on the same principle as that adopted for his small arms, experience having demonstrated its appli cability to fire arms of every size and description." In concluding his remarks on the subject of artillery and armour plates, the writer passes a well-merited eulogiune on Sir J. Emerson Tennant's recent work, " The Story of the Gnus." "The Military Engineering of the Ancients" is continued," and contains some interesting information. Captain Acklom, late of the 23th Regiment, furnishes a description of his deep sea anchor. The system is, how ever, is not a new one; it is, in fact, a development of the drag used by the fishermen on the eastern coasts. The inventor has, however, a high opinion of the project, which, under certain circumstances, may be doubtless very ser viceable. CORNIIILL.—Tho readers of this periodical will turn, w:th interest of a peculiar character, to the story of the late Mr. Thackeray. It is difficult to judge from the opening chapters of any tale what it may prove in its further development. Yet it must bo observed that the narrative of "Dennis Duval" is singularly complete in its character, narrating, as it does in this part, au entire tragedy of domestic life. The form is autobiographical, the story being told by an old admiral. The scone is supposed to be laid towards the close of the last century, The greater number of the characters arc French. However, we cannot criticise too closely a fragmentary sketch like this, which is all that is left to us of the last attempt of a groat man, and seems his parting legacy to the readers who so delighted in his works, and who mourn the untimely departure of him who traced out life for them with a master hand. " The Small house at Allinston" does not make much progress this time with the more pleasing characters, but records very important events concerning Croabie, whose aristocratic lady takes herself off to Baden-Baden with her mother and sister, abandoning the petty grandeurs and dig nities of Princess Royal -crescent alter about 10 weeks' trial. This is a good satire on the pleasing results of marriages g la mode, but the reader grudges Croabie his felicitous liberty, which boon ho certainly does not deserve. Lily, who would bo a charming maiden, spoils herself by her infatuated folly in persisting to worship as an idol a man who deserved to bo scouted from respectable society for his paltrooncry and dishonourable conduct, " 'rho Fashion of Furniture" is a very sensible article, which the foolish and flippant of the day would do well to peruse attentively, and the result cannot be otherwise than beneficial to their taste and profitable to their fortutee. It is very truly said that the present generation have not made progress in this spe cialty. We often congratulate ourselves on the compara tive low price of certain articles for which our forefathers paid so much, but we forget that furniture in their days often lasted a lifetime. Much of ours becomes rickety in a short time after purchase, and before many years has to be replaced altogether. There is a want of solidity and a want of purpose about it which tends to this result. " The Forest of Essex" is a pleasure sketch of a very delightful locality, and the historical association of the place claim for it a duo respect and reverence. Wo are hero informed that " Caractacus had a good deal to do with us, and Boadicia was finally beaten somewhere between Epping and Waltham." " Margaret Deezd's llis tory is continued at some length in this number. " Sentence of Death Recorded," is a striking article th a t i a well worthy of notice, and brings home to us a subj ec t t h at cannot ho too much and too earnestly contemplated. Tho concluding passage ought to reassure those who sh r i n k from all mention of the theme, w hi c h is sombr e or splendid as it granted prayer, and lose is regarded either with the eye of desk or the vision of faith. mighta one day die, no greater If in our petition to the enemy to spare us we were, human being.

It is called Barry o.3yrne, and, although amusing, is somewhat extrava— gant. " Singed /sloths" is continued, and the wretched Sumgglefusses proceed in their attempts atter greatness in a manner quite worthy of their name. One of the best papers in this part is one on " Josiah Wedgwood." EVERY BOY'S MAGAZINE.--This littlo serial is full of fun and frolic, and as captivating as ever to its young readers. LE FOLLET.—The gorgeous dresses in the plates show that the reign of fashion is at its height, and testify to the variety if not always the elegance of the pre vailing /nodes. There is au additional plate this month, and the letterpress of the magazine is the usual compound of romance and poetry. The EVENTS OF THE MONTH, and the GA R " DENERS' WEEKLY MAGAZINE, both contain much valuable information, which, in each of them, is arranged in the most concise and interesting manner. NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL for this month contains an elaborate account of the principal recent patents and scientific notices, as well as an excellent article on " Patent Adjudication Reform." WS have to announce the death of Mr. James Maxse, who expired yesterday at his residence in Upper (}rosvenor•street. The doceased gentleman married, in 1829, Lady Caroline Fitz-Harding° Berkeley (draghter or the late Earl of Berkeley), whe now survives him.
